Lyrics - Billy by Reed Lou

Billy was a good friend of mine
We grew up together ever since we were nine
We went to school, he was my best friend
And
I thought our friendship would never end
In highschool he played football
And me,
I didn't do anything at all
He made touch-downs, while
I played pool
And no one could figure out, which one of us was the fool
Then we both went to collage
He studied medicine, while
I studied foilage
He got "
A's", and
I got "
D's"
He was going for his
P.
H.
D.
The
I decided to drop out
Then
I decided to drop out
Things were getting a little to hot
Billy stayed there, became an intern, then a doctor
Then war broke out and he had to go
But not me,
I was mentally unfit or so they say, so, so
When he came back, he wasn't quite the same
His nerves were shot, but not me
Last time
I saw him,
I couldn't take it anymore
He wasn't the
Billy
I knew, it was like talking to a door
Billy was a friend of mine
I grew up with him ever since we were nine
We went together to school
And now
I often wonder, which one of us was the fool
